Appearance(s)

Boah (ボア, Boha) was a bishop and royal advisor in the service of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea. He was tasked by the king with escorting Princess Nyna out of Pales as the forces of Dolhr moved in at the onset of the War of Shadows, and was captured and imprisoned for the rest of the war, until Nyna returned with Marth's forces to reclaim Pales. After the war, he persuaded Nyna to marry Hardin of Aurelis, and the latter's discovery of this fact played a role in his eventual descent into grief and madness, and the cause of the War of Heroes.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Role

Boah was imprisoned with Midia, Macellan, Dolph and Tomas, in a cell in Pales under the occupation of Volzhin and the forces of Dolhr. During Marth's assault on the palace and its Dolhr occupation, Boah and the other prisoners were freed and joined Marth's army.

Book 2

Role

After the War of Shadows, Boah and several other Archanean nobles had decided to, for the purpose of the restoration of Archanea, strongly encourage Nyna to marry Prince Hardin of Aurelis; though initially reluctant, out of continued feelings for the lost Camus and of a lack thereof for Hardin, but eventually gave in to the pressure. Some time into the marriage, Hardin learned of this and of Nyna's lack of reciprocation of his love for her, and this is what caused him to enter a deep depression, paving the way for Gharnef to enter the palace disguised as a merchant, offer him the Darksphere and twist him into a vicious despot. As such, Boah's actions were the catalyst for the chain of events which eventually became the War of Heroes.

At some point afterward, Hardin attacked and gravely wounded Boah for his role in the marriage to Nyna. Boah survived long enough to encounter Marth as he prepared to storm Pales itself and end Hardin's tyranny, and explained to Marth and Jagen his role in Hardin's rise, expressing great regret for it. Boah then dies and, as such, is not playable.

Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga

Role

When the army of Dolhr came to lay siege to Pales at the onset of the War of Shadows, Boah was entrusted by the king of Archanea with the job of escorting Princess Nyna to safety, and convened a group of knighs to protect her on the way. The group was instead cornered by Dolhr's forces and was forced to try and fight its way out. In the end, they were defeated and captured upon the arrival of Camus, and were imprisoned in the palace, where they remained for three years until Marth arrived with Nyna.
